Re: March Madness
valve sucks, they fuck up everything they get their hands on or they user-test it so much that it guarantees that it's fun for every newbie and not fun for anyone who likes a challenge

Re: March Madness
Oh right I forgot.
Valve, a professional game developer, doesn't nearly come close the intellectual prowess of a single server admin. Their free modding software, famous for allowing amateur game developers to work with an accessible medium and make a name for themselves, and selfless updates do not nearly make up for the fact that they do not cater to an incredibly small, elitist group of people.
These men are the future.

Re: March Madness
Valve is just shy of winning by roughly 30 votes. This forum by itself could overturn the entire result. Voting closes 9 am EST.

Re: March Madness
I voted for harmonix just because I'd be disappointed as hell if Relic or Bioware beat them
square enix is going to win though, lol

Re: March Madness
This is a really good point. And Valve is pretty much the only PC developer left besides Relic (and I guess Turbine but how are they still in this?)ajunk wrote:Their free modding software, famous for allowing amateur game developers to work with an accessible medium and make a name for themselves, and selfless updates do not nearly make up for the fact that they do not cater to an incredibly small, elitist group of people.

Re: March Madness
Just looked up Turbine, as I had no idea who they were
aparentally they're behind Lord of The Rings Online and Dungeons and Dragons Online
Really?

Re: March Madness
Who the fuck is Relic and why are people voting for them over Harmonix?
Harmonix are one of the coolest game developers ever- the lead designer posts on SA regularly and takes people's battle of the band suggestions, for fuck's sake.
